[English version below] "Ciarraí, 1923. Ar bharr an choma thuas chas sé agus d’fhéach sé thar n-ais. Bhí sí fós ann, le hais an tobair, is a buicéidín aici is í ag féachaint suas air. D’fhéach sí beag, leochaileach, uaigneach. Thuig sé na trí rud san go maith. Ní raibh sé riamh le bean.” Seo é scéal Mhait Dálaigh, fear nach raibh riamh le bean; scéal Cháit Ní Bhric, bean óg a bhfuil a saol caite aici ag sclábhaíocht; agus scéal Bhreen, ógánach slachtmhar a bhfuil a chrois féin le hiompar aige trí shneachta shléibhte Chiarraí agus é ina chogadh dearg ar gach taobh de.

She was still there, beside the well, with her small bucket, looking up at him. She looked small, fragile, lonely. He understood those three things well. He had never been with a woman." This is the story of Mait Dálaigh, a man who was never with a woman; the story of Cáit Ní Bhric, a young woman who has spent her life slaving away; and the story of Breen, a handsome young man who has his own cross to bear through the snow of the Kerry mountains, as war is fought on all sides.
